An old boyfriend has suggested we try getting back together after a few years apart (we were together for seven years). I am totally confused and don't know what to do. I care for him deeply and love him in my own way but there is no passion between us and I am not sexually attracted to him. However, he is loving, caring and supportive and looks after me better than anyone else. My question is, can a relationship be sustained on these merits alone if there is no passion? Does passion die after x amount of years together? I am confused between feeling that this would not be a healthy relationship yet I would be jealous if he meet someone else. There is a large age gap between us (12 years) if that makes any difference, given that, he is super keen to start a family and I know he would make a fantastic dad, but again, I am not sure this is a healthy environment to raise children. I would be grateful if anyone else has been in this situation or has any words of advice. Thank you!Thanks everyone - for clarification, I ended the relationship because we had grown apart the last year we were together and I was keen to explore the world and see other people and he was equally keen to settle down. I have not been in a serious relationship with anyone since him. There were also other issues that affected our relationship and that was that both of our families disapproved of the age gap (12 years) and I struggled to cope with that. If we were to get back together, that would still be an issue although I think I am better equipped to deal with that now.
